Oneira IRL is built around photos and moments in the physical world. A good community does more than collect attractive images; it protects the people in them, describes edits honestly, and gives creators and rights holders a usable path to raise concerns.
Consent comes before the post
Ask before photographing or uploading an identifiable person, especially a child. Being in a public place does not automatically make every use respectful or appropriate.
If someone changes their mind or a rights issue appears, use the published takedown path. A transparent process is better than forcing people to negotiate in comments.
Label how the image was made
A straight camera capture, an ordinarily edited photo, and an AI-generated image are different kinds of media. The upload flow should preserve that distinction so viewers are not asked to infer provenance from visual style.
Oneira cameras do not currently sign captures, so the community must not display a cryptographic verification claim that the hardware cannot support. ‘We do not know’ is more trustworthy than a decorative badge.
Protect location and relationships
Photo metadata can reveal precise location, time, and device details. Public sharing should remove unnecessary EXIF information and avoid posting a home, school, or routine in a way that creates risk.
Creators who received a free or discounted unit should disclose that relationship. Community credibility depends on making incentives visible, even when the opinion itself is honest.
The short version
- Obtain consent before capture and sharing.
- Label ordinary edits and AI-generated media accurately.
- Remove unnecessary location metadata and disclose material relationships.
questions, answered.
Are Oneira IRL photos cryptographically verified today?
No. The current implementation explicitly refuses to mark a capture as device-verified until real camera signing exists and the signature can be validated.
